Ian Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Do the offices downtown typically lose power in these sort of storms? none did during the derecho but some of the city did. but in a case like this not sure underground stuff helps if everything goes down.

TowsonWeather Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I browse the other regional forums to get some different perspectives, and it's gotten to the point where I only go to the SNE forum for humor. The wishcasting and weenie-tastic nonsense is there is beyond absurd. I'm no expert - what I know I know from reading this forum carefully over the years - but I know self-interested selective model-hugging weenie-ism when I see it. Those jokers are STILL posting about how the NHC is "brainwashed" and "dangerously misleading" and talking about "landfall ticking to the north" and "jumps to the NE"...Obviously CT Blizz is the worst, but there is a whole squadron of weenies engaged in laughably ridiculous wishcasting nonsense in that forum. Don't get me wrong - there are some amazing mets in there, and every forum has its share of weenies - but the SNE forum is a giant cauldron of fail compared to the other regional forums on this board.

Jebman Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 One thing I have noticed today with this storm: It was windy as heck this morning but it is a lot less windy tonight. Also we have only seen a small amount of drizzle. I think that it will be less severe in northern Virginia but probably more severe in Maryland and north/northeast. We'll see some rain and breezy weather tomorrow but nothing too bad. I feel real sorry for people in Pennsylvania and Maryland who are going to lose power.

nw baltimore wx Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm not sure if it's been said, but OC, Maryland issued mandatory evacuations for downtown residents by 8PM. I guess they're trying to beat the high tide at 9:15 tonight. Fortunately, it's a low high tide. The higher high tide is tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this specific storm, 50 miles south means nothing. Dale city may dodge 70mph gusts and only get 4.5" of rain. That's about it. Lights out.

Lights out. Agreed. I was in New Orleans for Isaac in August. 70 mph winds are pretty serious. Lots of power lines and large trees will come down. Especially since this area hasn't had a major long-term strong wind event like this in a long while. Darwinism will work its magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
